I installed FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE as of July 11, on my new Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop, and I'm having trouble getting the multiboot menu working. I've tried both the standard FreeBSD boot menu and the OS-BS boot menu. OS-BS reports "missing operating system" when I try to boot it, and the FreeBSD one just beeps at me (no error message at all) My disk is sliced as follows: 11GB windows slice 17GB FreeBSD slice with following partitions - 64meg / - 512meg swap - 4 meg /usr - 4 meg /data I am able to boot by booting from my 4.0 CD, then switching the currdev to my harddisk before letting it boot the kernel. However, this is really annoying. Did I mess something up when I installed FreeBSD? Did I miss a config line in one of the conf files in /boot? Any help is appreciated.
